This is the C book for UNIX users.
While maybe not showing extensions of various UNIX flavors it also does not clutter with .net and other temporally contrived notions that inhibit portability.
Some people refer to this as the "c" bible. Written by Brian W. Kernighan, and Dennis Ritchie, well known in the C and UNIX field. This book is not cluttered with C++ forcing you to figure out what part is "c".
You may think that this book is not for beginners. However, it is more of a combination of the dictionary and "The Elements of Style" for the "c" language
This does, of course, include ANSI c, which is transportable to all platforms. It also states that", since the ANSI C library is in many cases modeled on UNIX facilities, this may help your understanding of the library as well."
The language itself as with any language has its strong points. The main one is pointers. By not duplicating data and not having to move it all around the application can be lightning-fast and the code tight and to the point. Other advantages of the language are pointed out as with bit shifting.
This book should be used as a prerequisite to C communications books.

I'm still on the first chapter, the introduction, and already I've found an exercise solution that doesn't work at all. The C book asks you to make a program that will take a long line of code and break it into shorter lines. The solution just cuts off second half of the line and erases it, leaving only the first half. Apprehensive about moving forward with this book after such a big mistake so early on.
